A lot more third-grade boys are about to get crushes on their teachers in Buffalo, New York as the city has instituted a program that allows teachers to get plastic surgery and pass the bill onto the city. All 3,400 Buffalo public school teachers are permitted to get any cosmetic procedure they wish without price limits. The program will create a projected $42 million deficit in the Buffalo Board of Education’s 2013 budget.

The teacher’s union is using the controversial plastic surgery benefit program as a bargaining chip to get better pay for teachers in Buffalo, who have attempted to get pay raises over the past nine years since their contract expired.

How much a teacher should be paid is a matter on which reasonable people can disagree.
